94 - Mother Nature Give Us A Break


For those who follow us, will see that we are all about, a bit of fun, and a little cheeky sometimes. We have our share of whinges, especially mechanically orientated, but hey...... we live quite simply, and have a fairly stress free environment.......and are very thankful for every day.

But our hearts go out to all those effected with  the horrendous events around OZ. Devastating fires around Perth, as well as floods further up north in WA.....but SE Queensland, no words can describe the horror  un-folding before our eyes.


Our hearts and prayers go out to all those in the direct firing line. A lot of the places we see under water, we have either managed properties in the area, or passed through them on a regular basis. It is all just so mind blowing, and very hard to comprehend.


But then yesterday Monday 10th January 2011, unfolding right before us, the unbelievable catastrophic events in Toowoomba and the Lockyer Valley. Words cannot describe the gut wrenching that we (the bride I ) are experiencing. We cannot comprehend the emotion that is going through those poor soles who are in the middle of this unbelievable disaster. For those who have lost family and friends, we as individuals can only pray for you.


As I am writing this, further events are now unfolding for Ipswich and Brisbane.

This looks like 1974 all over again.

Look at this link

Our thoughts are with all.

HI guys,

Totally agree, it is unbelievable!
Toowoomba - been there a few times, it is very hard to imagine. Watching Sunrise this morning and hear Grant to choked up to talk - we are all feeling the same way.
Our prayers go out to them all.

It's just so horrifying to even watch, so I can't imagine what the people caught in the middle must be experiencing. I've got survivors guilt - the only thing I feel I can do is donate till it hurts.

Stay dry & safe.
